I HAVE CONTACTED EILEEN FAIRWEATHER AND GIVEN HER COPIES OF THESE DOCUMENTS

I have told Eileen Fairweather the freelance reporter all about disabled children including my son being taken to Drake Hall prison from the special school they attended for PE lessons.

She has contacted me before to ask me to remove certain comments, disinformation,posted anonymously about her, from this blog, which I have done, and apologised for them too, as its difficult for me to know who is telling the truth and who is lying, plus for quite a long time this blog was unmoderated, and comments were automatically posted without me necessarily seeing them, as at first I didn't know how to run a blog, I've had to learn things as I've gone along, we didn't do blogs on the CLAIT course I took in Stone when I first learned how to use a computer.

Eileen wanted me to keep quiet about this, but I can't do that, and I hope she can appreciate why, given my background and all the awful things that have happened. I know a lot of people from a lot of countries read this blog, good people and bad people, I hope the bad ones are shaking in their boots, and I pray for God to bless the good ones with wisdom and courage.

ROLF HARRIS

It gives me mixed emotions to read about what that wicked man has done, because I used to really love Rolf Harris's television programs, and his songs. It's hard to face up to the fact that the things you loved as a child were rotton to the core.

Why didn't Rolf Harris own up to what he'd done instead of employing expensive liars, oops I mean lawyers, oh well same difference, to cover up for him? Why do they do that? I probably wouldn't have felt so disgusted with Rolf Harris or any of the other convicted paedophiles if they didn't add to their crimes by forcing their victims to be interrogated and made to feel like criminals by covering up their crimes with a Not Guilty plea. Every time they do that what they are doing is calling the person they abused a liar!

The only pleasure I get from all this is that it increases my hope that my own 40 year long ordeal might come to an end before too long, as every time one of this network of paedophiles gets convicted the police (the REAL police, not the criminals in uniforms that are colluding to cover up institutional child abuse and murder and other wicked crimes, that remark is aimed directly at Stafford police) get closer and closer to the hub of this horrid network of international gangsters.

Rolf Harris 'visited Broadmoor hospital with Jimmy Savile'

Alison Pink, who alleges Jimmy Savile abused her at Broadmoor, recalls how the pair suddenly turned up on a women’s ward as patients were getting changed

By Keith Perry

11:45PM BST 30 Jun 2014

Rolf Harris was once shown around Broadmoor hospital by Jimmy Savile as female patients were undressing for bed, it was alleged.


Alison Pink – who said Savile abused her at Broadmoor– recalled the pair suddenly turned up on a women’s ward just as patients were preparing to get undressed in the corridor, the Mirror reported. The pair had been attending a fete at the hospital before they ventured onto the wards.


It was also claimed that another victim of Harris wrote to Buckingham Palace in 1995 warning that he had abused her.


The woman allegedly told royal staff: “He ruined my life. You need to know what kind of man you’ve let near the Queen.”


The anonymous letters were passed to Scotland Yard’s Royal Protection Group who deemed them credible and they were logged as intelligence
But they remained filed until Harris, 84, officially became a suspect in 2012.

Scotland Yard refused to comment on the allegations.

Describing how Harris and Savile attended Broadmoor together, the ex-patient, now called Steven George after a sex change, believes the pair were “birds of a feather”.

Mr George said: “Harris turned up one evening out of the blue.

He was being shown around by Savile in an understated way. Normally stars only came if they were there for an official performance but Harris didn’t do one.

“It was also unusual because visitors would come at visiting hours, between 10am and 4pm, but they came in as we were getting ready for bed,” Mr George said.

Harris’ visit was mentioned in last week’s report on Savile’s abuse of vulnerable victims in the hospital, it was reported.

While it found no evidence of wrongdoing by Harris, the report stated: “We heard convincing accounts of a pattern of inappropriate behaviour surrounding Savile’s attendance on female wards at bath time and bedtime... female patients would be obliged to strip while lined up in corridors.

“We heard that Savile followed a clear pattern of arriving on a female ward at just before this time.”

The report adds: “Unchallenged by staff, he would then watch from behind, as the row of female patients undressed.”

Mr George, now 62, first wrote an account of Harris’ Broadmoor visit in his 2012 autobiography “Heartless”.

Alison was sent to the high-security psychiatric hospital as a teenager after she ran away from her adoptive parents and set fire to a property.

Savile was a hospital volunteer and was given his own keys and living quarters at the hospital. Alison was on the York ward when the men visited at the height of their fame.

They then headed to the Lancaster ward, where women who were being punished had to strip in the corridor in front of warders.

Mr George said: “Harris was very famous at the time and had his weekend show. He walked down the passageway of York ward with Savile opening the doors along with a nursing officer.

“Some of the girls came out and there was an unprompted performance of Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport. He then went through to the punishment ward.

"At that time of the evening all the girls on that ward would have been undressed ready for bed.

"We all had to get completely undressed in the hallway in front of the staff, male and female, to show nothing was being taken into our rooms.

“I thought it was odd that he was walking through the female wards and not doing a show. It was strange that he arrived at the same time the women were undressing for bed.”

REPOSTING FROM DAVID HENCKE'S BLOG David Cameron: dumping his support for sexually abused kids?

Hope David Hencke won't mind me reposting this, it involves me, as I am one of the Pindown child abuse victims who is still waiting (40 years on) for even a simple apology, let alone for the wrong thats been done to be put right, which wouldn't even cost a fortune in my case, as one of the things which is grieving me is that I am unable to marry the man I love, on account of the Freemasons of Stafford County Court spitefully blocking my divorce from a man who not only abused me and my daughter, I also haven't clapped eyes on him for almost 20 years, and don't want to either! Yet the Freemasons have blocked me from divorcing him, my solicitor I had at that time was bemused about this, she could not understand why they have blocked my divorce, the only reason I can think of is sheer unadulterated spite, because I raised Cain about Richard Gardner and Ralph Underwager, when they Secret Family scoundrels tried to accuse me of PAS, which paedophile Richard Gardner had invented, and I refused to lie down and be labelled with paedophile made up junk science and made a very vocal complaint about their persecution of me!

Plenty of money has been spent on persecuting me, but not very much, if any, has been spent on actually helping me. It's not just me, its ALL us Pindown child abuse victims who have been treated like criminals for decades, instead of victims of serious crime.

David Cameron: dumping his support for sexually abused kids?

Posted on March 18, 2013 by David Hencke

David Cameron outside Downing Street. Picture courtesy: Guardian

Politicians like journalists can be creatures of the moment. Flitting from issue to issue – today will be the decision on implementing Leveson on press regulation – they sometimes forget the bigger picture in the adrenalin rush of a crisis or a story.

Eleven years ago David Cameron, then a backbencher sat alongside Tom Watson, Labour MP, as a member of the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee. Together the two MPs signed up to a report on historical child abuse. One of the key recommendations of the report ( for those who want to read it all, the link is http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200102/cmselect/cmhaff/836/83602.htm ) was that when the police ” trawl” for abuse victims and witnesses those who are interviewed should get support from day one.

The recommendation states: “complainants should be offered appropriate victim support services, such as
counselling, from an early stage of their involvement in the investigation.”

Now 11 years later the police seem to be working overtime investigating historic child abuse cases. Operation Fernbridge – the police investigation into sexual abuse of children in the care of Richmond Council and their links to Elm Guest House in Barnes – has at least 16 potential children in its sights. The aftermath of the Savile inquiry could bring many others into its scope and the don’t forget Operation Fairbank investigating other child abuse allegations and at least 30 investigations into child grooming across Britain. The scale of abuse is obviously much higher than people realise.

Officially the police and it now appears Downing Street believe all these former kids, some now in their 40s, are getting support. But evidence from two people who can be expected to be important witnesses in any trial involving the Richmond scandal suggests otherwise.

Details were published yesterday in the Sunday People and on the Exaro website. You can read the article in the People here (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/vip-child-sex-ring-victims-1768956) and the harrowing view of two witnesses here (http://www.exaronews.com/articles/4897/witnesses-in-operation-fernbridge-plead-for-support-service) .

Suffice to say they are both highly critical. One, Sam, not his real name , says the help he was given : “as “inadequate, ill-conceived and suffered from a complete failure to understand what they (the authorities) were doing.”

He doesn’t blame the police who appear to have been sensitive in interviewing him but just left him with a list of referral agencies to fend for himself.The other is also having to find his own care while his GP prescribes sleeping pills.

I put this direct to Downing Street – including sending Mr Cameron’s office a heart-rending quote from one of them – and reminded him of what he signed up to 11 years ago.

The reply was :”Sexual abuse is a devastating crime and the Government is committed to ensuring that every victim has access to the specialist support they need. This is why the Ministry of justice is providing £10.5million in Government funding over three years to provide services to support victims of these heinous crimes.

“The Government funds 78 Rape Support Centres across England and Wales. These provide confidential and expert support, advice and counselling for victims of these heinous crimes. More centres are in the process of being established and expected to open soon.

“The Government is committed to providing a justice system that protects, supports and reaches the highest possible standards of care for victims. There are a number of measures which already exist to protect vulnerable and special victims, including rape and sexual abuse victims, throughout their involvement with the CJS, and a number of reforms are under way to improve the system further.”

The rape crisis centres are not dealing with these particular Fernbridge cases or any historic childhood sex abuse and therefore Downing Street is misleading people by suggesting that all this money is going to help victims of child sexual abuse.

No answer was given to my main point – did David Cameron support what he had signed up to 11 years ago. And the suggestion is that this support is not there on the ground nor is it co-ordinated.

This is stupid, short-sighted and frankly callous. Tom Watson, who has been approached by some of the witnesses who suffered child sexual abuse about lack of support, believes Cameron should use his power to make sure this is properly implemented and people have support from day one.

For a successful prosecution of people who committed these heinous crimes some 30 years ago, the government must ensure that the people who complained and will be witnesses are properly supported. It is no good having witnesses in the court who can’t sleep, feel sick or can’t cope.

Shame on you Mr Cameron if you sign up to reports and don’t do anything about it when you are in power yourself.

if you would like to hear a story about this please drop me an e-mail at andyllewellyn@hotmail.com

this is part of my story but there is a lot more to it
the police first got this guy and charged him with abusing myself and another, i was not able to speak so did not provide a statement, however the police still charged him and he went to prison.
you would think that the police would tell my guardians(ss) and parents what had happend and that he had been charged, but instead they told them that i had not been abused but i was in a homosexual relationship with him(i was 13 he was 40) and that the police were not intending to take any further action(i have documentation to back this up), this news was delivered to a room full of social workers and have all there names

this was just a brief out line of what i have been put through
cheers

Where’s all this £10.5 million going then? It certainly isn’t going on helping us Pindown child abuse victims, I’ll tell you that first hand, the only “help” I am being given right now is the virtually useless Emotional Well Being (based in the old tax offices in Stafford near where Woolworths used to be), I get the chance to have a moan to a lady called Amanda once a fortnight, that is the only support I am getting, it’s totally useless, I know that, Amanda knows it too. I have also been on the merrygoround of being offered all sorts of nasty drugs by GPs, I DON’T WANT OR NEED DRUGS I WANT JUSTICE, I WANT AT THE VERY LEAST SOMEONE TO APOLOGISE FOR THE PINDOWN ABUSE AND THE LEGAL ABUSE I SUFFERED, AND FOR SOMEONE TO ACTUALLY TRY TO PUT THINGS RIGHT FOR ME!

ARE THEY ALL PSYCHICS AT STAFFORD BRANCH OF THE SAMARITANS?

Or are they simply spying on the people who have contacted them for support, stalking them?

Lets put it this way: How come the woman I spoke to this afternoon round about 3.00pm from Stafford Samaritans with the Cannock accent knew what I was going to say about Drake Hall prison before I'd even had chance to say it?

WHO IS JOE HEMMING?

I AM REPOSTING THIS ARTICLE FROM THE DAILY MIRROR:

Atos boss accused of 'living in a parallel universe' after claiming hated benefits assesor is popular with public

Joe Hemming was savaged by a cross-party committee of MPs after claiming that the public was 'satisfied' with the controversial private contractor's performance

The boss of hated benefit assessor Atoswas yesterday accused of “living in a parallel universe” after claiming the public was “satisfied” with the job his firm was doing.
Joe Hemming made the claim after being hauled before MPs to explain the firm’s botched handling of the Government’s “work capability assessments” which try to get people off benefits.
Angry MPs told Mr Hemming thousands of their constituents were still in desperate circumstances because incorrect assessments had stripped them of vital financial support.
Mr Hemming, appearing at the Commons Public Administration Committee, said: “Atos is proud of the work it does.
“We have a real passion for delivering services to the citizen in a way that continues to satisfy the way the citizen wants to be served.”
Labour MP Paul Flynn accused Mr Hemming of suffering from a “reality problem”.
He asked: “Do you live in some kind of bubble somewhere – some kind of parallel universe?”
Mr Flynn added he had been forced to listen to “vacuous nonsense”.
He was joined by Tory and Lib Dems in attacking the firm.
Lib Dem Greg Mulholland said Atos’s name was “severely damaged for good” over their handling of vulnerable claimants.
And Tory MP Robert Halfon said: “You don’t provide good service and there is no redress.”
He said the majority of his constituents thought the service from Atos was “appalling”.

We revealed last week how 47-year-old Shelia Holt, who is bipolar, was sectioned after being taken off Income Support.
She was still being pursued by Atos to assess her fitness to work – despite being in a coma after a heart attack.
French IT giant Atos has been dogged by criticism since winning the coalition contract, worth hundreds of millions of pounds, to assess whether people with disabilities are really fit to work.
Charities in August described Atos as “farcical” after it told nearly a half of all people suffering from crippling life-long diseases like Parkinson’s they would get better.
In 2012, campaigners called for a boycott of the Paralympics because Atos was one of the main sponsors.


DOES ANYONE KNOW WHO THIS MAN JOE HEMMING IS?

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF HE IS RELATED TO SUE HEMMING (MI5) AND JOHN HEMMING MP (MI5)?

IF THIS MAN JOE HEMMING HAS SUCH A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY AND POWER OVE SO MANY VULNERABLE PEOPLE'S LIVES, HOW DID HE GET IT, WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DOES HE HAVE TO MERIT SUCH A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY?

DOES ANYONE KNOW?

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CORRUPT QUANGO ATOS PERSECUTION OF THE DISABLED AND VULNERABLE?



In my quest to protect my own little family from institutional abuse, I am now having to do battle with ATOS, the Government quango that is bullying disabled and sick people all over the UK. That is because my own daughter has been targetted for what I can only describe as a vendetta against her by ATOS, and she has become so stressed that her hair is falling out.

My daughter would very much like to work, she is not lazy and feckless, she is ill and needs help, not bullying.

I know that many people are in exactly the same position as my daughter.

Anyway, in my quest to protect my family, I went to the WHAT DO THEY KNOW Freedom of Information website, to see if I could find any information there that might help me to find out who these shadowy people are who are responsible for this vendetta against my daughter.

I discovered that a What Do They Know volunteer called GANESH SITTAMPALEM is blocking FOI request information about ATOS and also that he is suspending people who are bringing FOI requests about ATOS.

I then discovered that GANISH SITTAMPALEM is the son of the financer DR ARJUNA SITTAMPALEM.

DR ARJUNA SITTAMPALEM is the managing director of Sage and Hermes LTD which was founded in 1994. He is also Editor of the Investment Managing Review which is published by Sage and Hermes LTD in partnership with EDHEC. He is also Research Associate at the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre, and a member of the Professional Development Committee of CFA UK.

GANESH SITTAMPALEMS GRANDFATHER WAS CATHIRAVELU SITTAMPALAM.
